In the spring of 2008, I did a daylong stint on the Yale admissions
committee. We—that is, three admissions staff, a member of the college dean
’s office, and me, the faculty representative—were going through
submissions from eastern Pennsylvania. The applicants had been assigned a
score from one to four, calculated from a string of figures and codes—SATs,
GPA, class rank, numerical scores to which the letters of recommendation
had been converted, special notations for legacies and diversity cases. The
ones had already been admitted, and the threes and fours could get in only
under special conditions—if they were a nationally ranked athlete, for
instance, or a “DevA,” (an applicant in the highest category of “
development” cases, which means a child of very rich donors). Our task for
the day was to adjudicate among the twos. Huge bowls of junk food were
stationed at the side of the room to keep our energy up.
